A foreign military is getting more and more bases, control and domination over our country. Labor, the Coalition and One Nation are all celebrating this. They are not on our side.

There's been a lot of coverage of the "Data Centre boom" but not enough has been said about the unholy marriage being formed between the Ai and Gas industries. Which concerns not just Australia, but also the US, UK, Canada, Europe and many other countries.

The Government™ has made an ad about Ai Data Centres, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Yes, our society is not very good at “doing grief”. And it is more difficult and complex when ecological grief is not just about the apparently random, as with bird flu. But when it is the end point of government action or inaction on our environment. Then grief is mixed with rage. #auspol

The Albanese Govt can't say US subs will be "based" in WA because, from 2032, nuclear-armed cruise missiles will be loaded on US Virginia class subs and "basing" such subs here will put Australia in breach of the nuclear free Rarotonga treaty. See 2/2. #AUKUS #auspol

Labor is firing back up its cooked welfare penalties system despite multiple findings of illegality and dysfunction and no evidence those problems have been fixed. And who's administering these penalties? The profiteering providers generating investor returns from human misery.

When Labor tells you the $8 billion nuclear submarine base they are building just off Fremantle in WA is not a US base, it’s useful to see what the US thinks. The US thinks Labor has built them a new, permanent, US nuclear submarine base.

Senator McKim and Greens are the only Australian political party that recognizes Israel's genocide, and stands up for the rights of Palestinians, and international law. Tragedy that there are an increasing number in the governing Labor party who agree, but most are too scared to speak out. #auspol
